Microsoft Office rules the universe. Businesses, governments and institutions still use Microsoft Office to do serious business. But currently, AT&T and Amazon are hiring. Plenty of jobs are available at those companies.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ddf19eeab8ea3515000013jnffarrell1Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:23:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50ddf19eeab8ea3515000013
As one with 10,000s of hours experience building stuff on Excel, I can tell you from my 1000s of hours with Lotus123 and QuatroPro that most of the useful features of Excel, like tabbed spreadsheets in workbooks were copied from Excel's competition. What is valuable about Excel experience is the dedication to practicing unnatural actions for incredibly long periods until unconscious competence is achieved.
Google needs such folk in the way surgeons in Great Britain needed cadavers, to find out what the anatomy of business Apps should be if the disfunction (disease caused by IBMs 'let them eat chads') were negated.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dd6f90eab8ea9d6f000015arcana112Fri, 28 Dec 2012 05:08:16 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dd6f90eab8ea9d6f000015
No, they just dual-boot in order to get some *real* work done....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dd6f1669beddc179000006arcana112Fri, 28 Dec 2012 05:06:14 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dd6f1669beddc179000006
Oh, BI how you disappoint me!
The proper title *if* this was an MSFT article would be:
"Google Apps suck so hard that not even Google employees use them!"
Come on now keep it "fair and balanced"... (not)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcd85deab8ea5b21000012GregThu, 27 Dec 2012 18:23:09 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcd85deab8ea5b21000012
Interesting since the OS for workstations at Google is Linux. Equivelency for Open Office or Libre Office usage maybe?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcbdf6ecad04cd1900000dannbaker28Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:30:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcbdf6ecad04cd1900000d
They will sure ditch it after they see this <a href="http://bit.ly/YlWYT6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://bit.ly/YlWYT6</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcbdcc6bb3f74002000004JosephRThu, 27 Dec 2012 16:29:48 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcbdcc6bb3f74002000004
MS Office has many millions of hours of labor poured into it to get it where it is and has revised itself dozens of times over 22 years. Any competitor would need to put in almost as much time and effort just to achieve parity. Google is trying to get around that by just targeting what 80% of people use but that paints them into a corner as being the low end office suite that is feature limited.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcb74d6bb3f7a77300000belosoThu, 27 Dec 2012 16:02:05 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50dcb74d6bb3f7a77300000b
little secret, most office drones dont even know the features they use the MSFT Office product base for, and the larger and more complex the business, the more and more that Googles products just dont provide the needed feature set
